If I paid the regular price for all that, it would be about $250, but since I've been with them since 2008 and have never been late, they gave me NFL Ticket for free and $40 off a month for 12 months, so I'm paying about $170.
Century Link I have 10mpbs internet fiber optic and telephone with unlimited long distance, caller ID and call block and it's $59.99 a month plus tax. I've had that since July 2011 and they have never changed rates or service or anything, so I leave well enough alone. I have inquired about faster internet but they want credit card numbers and only 12 month guarantees, so I say, don't fix it if it ain't broke. On my smart tv I can watch Netflix, Youtube, all with no problem so the 10 is fine with me. I get 4K on Netflix, I just got a 75" Samsung in May and put the 60" in the BR.

Wow that's a lot of channels for $170.
We only watch a few stations on DIRECTV now, mostly Fox News, one america news, fox business and tvland. As far as sports, I was a diehard New England/Boston fan when I was younger but I'm losing interest as I get older which surprises me.
Back home I've been a projector nut since the late 90's. Presently I have a Benq set up with a 96" screen. My wife won't let me set one up down here but I'll keep working on her.
